Chapter 121 Acceptance of Employment
"Brother, aren't you hungry? Let's find a normal restaurant to eat. β
Huang Cang touched the dozen or so gold coins left at the beginning, and thought to himself that if he saved a few flowers, it should be enough to insist that they go to the Mulu tribe, and when they get to the magician union there, they should be able to receive the monthly gift from the union.
Ling Yue nodded and said, "Okay! However, why don't you find a decent restaurant to eat, ordinary small restaurants are not clean." β
With a wry smile, Huang Cang was pulled into one of the most luxurious hotels in Mime City by Ling Yue, although the most exclusive hotels in this remote town were far inferior to those big casinos in the Barron Empire, but Huang Cang still had a pain in his flesh.
It's money! It's not everything, but without it, there's no food. No matter how good your skills are, you can't skip eating! It seems that after eating this meal, I am afraid that I will have to think of a way to raise money again.
As soon as he entered the hotel, a waiter hurriedly greeted him, he saw the sacrificial robe on Ling Yue's body, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said respectfully: "The sacrificial lord is here, the small shop is really shining! Ignoring Huang Cang on the side, he led Ling Yue and walked inside.
Huang Cang looked down at the ordinary civilian clothes on his body, sighed slightly, and walked behind him.
Ling Yue was led by the waiter to sit down in the private room, which was open, in a higher position than the hall, surrounded by a wooden fence about one meter high, and the waiter handed over the recipe and said, "Lord Sacrifice, please order." β
Ling Yue took the recipe, looked at Huang Cang, who had just come over, and said, "Big brother, sit down." It's not luxurious, but it's clean. β
The waiter looked at Huang Cang in surprise, before, he thought that this tall young man was just a servant or bodyguard of the youth sacrifice, but he didn't expect that they were actually friends, and even might be brothers.
Hurriedly ran over to help Huang Cang pull out the chair, "Sir, please take a seat." β
Huang Cang looked at the waiter's strange eyes, of course he knew what he was thinking, and he was not the first person to look down on him. "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, I can eat anything. β
Ling Yue felt that Huang Cang's mood seemed to change somewhat, glanced at him, and said, "Big brother, then I'm welcome, I want an Imperial Ice Sea Cold Crab, just two more than one catty, and then, come again......"
Every time he heard Ling Yue order a dish, Huang Cang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously touched the money bag in his arms, not knowing if his remaining dozen gold coins were enough to pay the bill.
Ling Yue ordered eight dishes before stopping, each of the dishes she ordered was a famous dish of the Heavenly Star Empire, although Huang Cang had never eaten it, but from the name, she could also hear that these foods were expensive.
Closing the vegetable garden, Ling Yue smiled at Huang Cang and said, "Big brother, I know you can eat it, so I deliberately ordered more, you can taste it for a while, these dishes taste very good! With that, he drove the waiter away.
Huang Cang sat there with a bitter face, he would rather eat dried steamed buns than sit here and wait for those delicacies.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy? Is it because of the waiter's philistine face just now, these guys are like this, dogs look down on people, you ignore them, let's go to a magician's union later, and get you a mage robe, this situation will not occur in the future." β
Huang Cang sighed and said, "Brother, you don't know yet, the magician union of the Heavenly Star Empire and the magician union on the continent are two different things. I'm afraid it won't give us anything. β
Ling Yue was born in the richest Aden Empire, except for the sneak run three years ago, this is the second time she has left the empire, she naturally doesn't know what is going on outside, and said suspiciously: "What, there are still two magician unions?"
Huang Cang nodded, and told him about the attack between the two magicians when he first encountered it.
"Oh, it turns out that the magicians are so messy! Forget it, let's wait until the Mulu tribe, the magicians' union there should belong to the one we used to participate in. After all, you and your sister have been tested in the mercenary group, and most of the magicians in the Chiton Empire should still belong to the Continental Magicians Guild. β
Huang Cang sighed lightly and lowered his voice: "Brother, can I ask you, how much does the food you ordered just now? Otherwise, let's return a few dishes. β
A smile appeared on Ling Yue's face, and she said, "No need to retreat, big brother, don't worry, I have my own way." β
When Huang Cang heard her say this, he thought that she had money on her, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, he is also the grandson of the king, so he should have a lot of money on him, and he also ate a lot of his own fruit in the swamp forest, so he should have a meal in return.
At this time, the eight delicacies ordered by Ling Yue had already come up one by one, and the two of them suddenly had a great appetite when they looked at the delicacies with color, fragrance and taste, and they didn't need to be polite to each other, so they immediately threw off their arms and ate them.
The famous dishes such as ice sea cold crab and swallow wing lobster were really delicious, Huang Cang had never eaten such delicious food even when the Barun Empire was very rich, and he couldn't help but have a great appetite, and together with Ling Yue, he swept away these eight dishes.
Huang Cang thought to himself, it seems that people not only have to be rich, but also be able to spend money.
Patting his slightly bulging stomach, Huang Cang let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and said, "Brother, I'm really full today! β
Looking at Huang Cang's satisfied appearance, Ling Yue showed a knowing smile, "Big brother, as long as you eat happily, we can eat whatever we want in the future, you don't want to wronged yourself like before." I will definitely take you to eat all the delicious food on the mainland. β
Huang Cang smiled: "Okay, then I will follow you to enjoy the blessings." Today we are eating out for the first time, and I will treat you, but you will pay for the future travel expenses. I don't know if ten gold coins will be enough for this meal. β
He is also tentatively saying that it is not good to let the family pay directly after all.
As he spoke, he took out his money bag from his arms, this money bag was given to him by Ha Wen when he met him for the first time, for Huang Cang, this money bag has a very special meaning, so he took it close to him and cherished it.
Ling Yue snorted, laughed, held Huang Cang's hand and said, "Big brother, I think you better forget it." Ten gold coins is not enough to buy a dish. This table of food will cost at least a hundred gold coins to go out, so it's up to me. β
"What? A meal costs a hundred gold coins, which is too extravagant. Brother, did you have so much money with you? Why didn't I hear you talk about it when I was in the swamp forest? β
Although he was already mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by Ling Yue's words.
His face was slightly red, and as soon as he came out of the swampy forest, he asked 'Ling Yun', who he had known for a short time, to spend so much money to invite him to dinner, and Huang Cang's heart couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Ling Yue grinned and said, "I don't have any money on me! I never bring money when I go out." Didn't you know that my sister used to be too?"
"No, no money?" Huang Cangleng froze, his face fell, "I said brother, since you don't have money, why do you order such a good dish, it seems that the two of us are going to brush the dishes here." β
"Silly big brother, you're really interesting, how can we brush the dishes? With our cultivation level, we don't need to do that at all. Wait and see, I've got my own way. The waiter came over for a moment. β
The waiter hurriedly walked over when he heard Ling Yue's call, and said with a smile on his face, "Lord Sacrifice, what do you command?"
Ling Yue said with a sting: "Go and call your boss." β
The waiter paused for a moment and said, "Lord Sacrifice, are you not satisfied?" The clergyman did not dare to offend.
Ling Yue frowned and said, "Where are you talking so much nonsense, if you are told to go, you will go, hurry up." β
"Yes, yes. The waiter left in a panic. After a while, he walked over with a tall middle-aged man. The middle-aged man walked up to Ling Yue's side and said very politely: "Lord Sacrifice, I am the boss here, I am really neglected, the waiter just told me that you came to this store, it really makes the walls of the small shop shine! β
Ling Yue said lightly: "Your dishes here taste very good, we are very satisfied, after leaving the empire, this is the most comfortable meal I have ever eaten." β
The boss immediately looked happy and said, "Thank you for the compliment, your appreciation is the greatest honor of the shop." β
"Well, your food and service make us feel very comfortable, since everyone is a believer in the gods, I will send you something to keep as a souvenir, and we will come back when we are free in the future." As he spoke, he picked up the silver spoon on the table and recited a few incantations in a low voice, and the golden divine light surged out under the urging of the incantation, wrapping Ling Yue's body, and immediately bringing a soft and warm aura to the entire hotel hall.
The boss felt the feeling of a spring breeze, and his eyes showed a respectful look, and his demeanor became more respectful.
Ling Yue winked at Huang Cang, the golden light wrapped the silver spoon in his hand, and under the infusion of divine energy, after a while, the silver spoon had turned golden.
Ling Yue's performance attracted the attention of the diners in the hall, and in the Celestial Star Empire, a country that believed in the gods, suddenly saw such a strong divine light, and everyone stood up in unison and saluted Ling Yue respectfully.
Huang Cang smiled slightly, and with a soft snort, the golden spoon fell on the table, and the divine light suddenly converged.
The boss is a person who has seen the world, and his restaurant is the largest in Mime City, and he often goes to the sacrificial hall in the city to worship, and naturally knows that only high-level sacrifices can release golden holy light.
The boss reverently said to Ling Yue: "Please guide the priest to guide the maze." β
Although Ling Yue's identity is a sacrifice in the Aden Empire, the Aden Empire, as the second largest empire on the continent, is still very influential, so some civilians should respect the senior clergy of Aden and Chidon when they see it.
Ling Yue picked up the golden spoon and said, "I heard from others that you are a loyal believer of the Heavenly Gods. That's why I came here to reward you in place of the gods. This spoon you keep, it has the divine energy I sealed on it. Eating with this spoon can have a calming effect on the mind and is very beneficial to the body. β
The boss was overjoyed, hurriedly picked up the spoon, and said reverently: "Thank you for the reward." The villain will definitely put it away cautiously. β
The boss carefully felt the warm energy fluctuations on the spoon, and the boss knew the preciousness of this thing, and secretly decided that he would definitely use this spoon as his treasure in the future.
"Lord Priest, please advise me on the maze. β
"Lord Priest, I am also a loyal believer of the gods, so please give me one thing as well. β
The surrounding diners all gathered around, and those who could eat here were all powerful people in Meme City, and they were also knowledgeable, and when they saw that the owner of the restaurant had obtained such a good thing, they immediately couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and pleaded with the field.
Ling Yue stood up and said with a smile: "Things with a divine aura cannot be spread more, as long as you sincerely serve the gods, you will definitely be blessed by the gods." Alright, boss, let's settle the bill. We still have something to do. β
Huang Cang watched Ling Yue finish doing this dumbfounded, and he didn't understand her intentions in his heart, and when he heard that she was going to settle the bill, he suddenly became nervous.
The boss who got the golden spoon said in a panic: "Lord Sacrifice, it is already our honor for you to come to the shop, how can we collect your money? β
Ling Yue smiled and said, "Then how can it be done, although we are clergy, we can't afford not to give money for meals! This will ruin Aden's reputation, and the gods will be angry." β
"No, no. The Lord of Worship is to reward me on behalf of the gods, and how can such a precious reward be comparable to these mundane things. Sacrifice to my lord, if you want to give me money, the gods will blame me for being greedy. Please take back your fate. It is definitely the greatest honor of the villain to be able to invite the priest to dinner. β
In fact, he had long known that Ling Yue and Huang Cang were coming, but because there had been cases of sacrificial meals without giving money before, and because the other party was a clergyman, he didn't want it.
So he didn't come forward this time, but later Ling Yue asked to see him by name, and it would be bad if he didn't come out, thinking that the other party called him because he didn't give money, and he didn't plan to collect money again as soon as he came out.
But who knew that this great priest actually rewarded him with a treasure full of divine aura, what he said now was all psychological words, and he really wanted to invite Ling Yue and Huang Cang to eat this meal from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Yue sighed and said, "Okay, since you are so religious, then we are welcome." Big brother, let's go. β
Ling Yue used the teleportation magic that she had already prepared, and the golden light enveloped her and Huang Cang's bodies, and disappeared out of thin air under the surprised gaze of everyone.
"Celestial God, this must be the manifestation of the Celestial God!" everyone in the hotel knelt down and reverently recited the mantra.
A businessman approached the owner of the restaurant and whispered, "Brother, we are also in an old relationship, you see, can you give me what this sacrificial lord has given you." I pay a high price. β
The boss glanced at him vigilantly, hurriedly put the golden spoon into his arms, and shook his head resolutely: "No, this is a reward from the priest, how can I transfer it, it is a blasphemy against the gods." β
The diners around had the idea of buying this golden spoon, but when the boss said this, they had to dispel their greed.
How could they, who thought they had seen miracles, dare to go against the will of the gods? The golden spoon that Ling Yue gave to the boss did not deceive him, it was indeed sealed by her with a small amount of divine aura, which had a certain effect, and this could be regarded as the simplest refining weapon.
With Ling Yue's current magic cultivation, he could naturally do it easily.
Later, when the innkeeper went to the sacrificial hall in the city to pray, he asked the priest there to help him identify it, and the priest told him that the divine energy contained in the spoon was the purest he had ever seen.
All of a sudden, the value of this golden spoon rose dramatically and became a treasure in the entire meme city, which was something Ling Yue couldn't have imagined.
Ling Yue and Huang Cang were teleported to a distance of thirty meters from the hotel by teleportation magic, and Ling Yue smiled, "How is it? Big brother, isn't this just the solution?"
With Huang Cang's eyesight, he could naturally see what Ling Yue had just done, and frowned, "Just sealing some of your own energy in the artifact, can it really be worth so much money?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I ask for so much delicious food, big brother, don't forget, after all, there are only a few magicians on the continent, and even fewer Divine Light magicians of my level. This is still cheaper for him, if he sells that spoon, it is estimated that thousands of gold coins should be fine. β
Huang Cang's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Then we might as well sell things in the future, so that we won't have a regular income." β
Ling Yue shook her head and said, "That's not good, if this kind of thing appears too much, it won't be worth much, and besides, grandpa and dad will scold me when I go back." What I did just now can not only save us from food money, but also promote the magic gods of Aden, killing two birds with one stone, if I use the divine power to obtain my own benefits, it is a blasphemy against the gods, I can't do it. β
After the baptism of God, her persistent belief in the gods has long filled her body and mind.
Huang Cang thought to herself, how could she also be Teacher Ha Wen's apprentice, she was much more proficient in refining weapons than Ling Yue, she was unwilling to use divine power to refine weapons, couldn't she be able to refine something simple.
Moreover, her Xuantian Innocence Qi also has divine characteristics, if she has no financial resources in the future, she will try it according to her method, so that she will not worry about food and clothing. He originally carried a lot of Haven's masterpieces with him, but they were all relics left by Haven, so how could he be willing to sell them.
Ling Yue and Huang Cang asked for the path and successfully arrived at the mercenary union branch located in the middle of Mime City.
Due to the small size of Meme City itself, the mercenary union here is naturally much smaller. Only a small number of mercenaries were coming and going, and from the aura on their bodies, Huang Cang could clearly feel their weakness.
Ling Yue's purpose in coming here was nothing more than to exchange for a special mercenary card. But the mercenary union here is so small that it doesn't have stock.
"What are you looking at, I've never seen a sacrifice as a mercenary!" Ling Yue shouted impatiently as she looked at the surprised eyes around her.
In addition to Huang Cang and Ling Yue, including the staff of the Mercenary Guild, they replied almost at the same time, "I haven't seen it." β
Yes, what kind of status does the clergy of Aden have on the mainland, who would be a mercenary like choosing the moon, and he is a special mercenary.
Huang Cang looked at Ling Yue's flushed face and said with a smile: "Forget it, brother, since you can't change the card here, let's wait until we go to the Huahe clan." β
Ling Yue snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "Okay, then let's go." Their gaze is a nuisance. As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
The two had just left the mercenary union when a white-haired old man in his sixties suddenly stopped them. Huang Cang asked politely, "Old man, do you have something?"
The old man said with a smile on his face: "Two mercenary gentlemen, I heard that you are going to the Huahe clan just now, right?"
Ling Yue was depressed because of the words of those mercenaries just now, and said angrily: "You are not young, and your ears are quite bright. β
The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "Heyββ, old, old, when I was young, I was a famous Shunfeng ear." I have something I want to trouble the two of you, and I don't know if you want to do it. β
Huang Cang said: "Tell me, do you need any help?"
The old man nodded and said, "I really need the help of the two, looking at the outfits of the two, they must be mercenaries with no weak skills." I am a merchant of the Celestial Star Empire, and our Chamber of Commerce is going to transport a large number of goods to Andath City, the capital of the Mulu tribe. This part of the road is not close, so in order to avoid problems on the way, we decided to hire more mercenaries. β
Ling Yue said, "What do you mean, are you going to hire us?" Ling Yue looked at the person in front of her.
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, I just heard from the staff inside that you two are special mercenaries, and it is difficult to find special mercenaries now! Since the two of you are going to the Huahe clan, you will inevitably pass through Andes City, so I take the liberty of asking the two of you to join us among the mercenaries." In this way, our goods are also safer. As for the treatment, you can rest assured that we will never be stingy with the honorable special mercenaries, especially since there is also a sacrificial lord. We're willing to give a thousand gold coins, I don't know what you think. β
After such a long time, the current Huang Cang has no concept of money, as long as it is enough to spend, the appearance of this old businessman looks very sincere, which makes him feel good. Turning his head to Ling Yue, he said, "Brother, what do you say?"
Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we're going to the Yajin Clan, so let's go with them." Old man, then we will have all the food and accommodation to be covered by you, and it can't be too bad. β
When the old man heard that they agreed, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "No problem, with two of us joining, our caravan will definitely arrive at its destination smoothly." That's it, see you at the East Gate early tomorrow morning, where our caravan will assemble. Oh, by the way, my name is Biltz, and you can just come to me when the time comes. With that, he turned around and hurried away.
Ling Yue smiled and said, "Big brother, it should be very comfortable to follow the caravan, someone will take care of food and housing, and finally pay back the money, this is a good thing." β
Huang Cang scratched his head and said, "It shouldn't be that simple." If it was so idle, I'm afraid people wouldn't have spent so much money to hire us. It's better to be careful and take a good place to rest. β
The two of them casually found a cheap hotel to live in, in the swampy forest, Ling Yue had long been accustomed to sleeping with Huang Cang, and only opened one room in the name of saving money.
But when they entered the room, Ling Yue reluctantly found that there were two beds in this room called a standard room. I can't help but feel a little lost in my heart.
Huang Cang smiled and said, "Brother, I won't squeeze you this time." Let's have one for each person. You sleep over there. β
Ling Yue kept struggling in her heart, thinking back to Huang Cang's warm embrace, gritted her teeth, and said, "Big brother, I'm used to sleeping with you these days, I'm afraid of the cold by nature, if I sleep alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." β
Huang Cang was stunned and said: "Brother, your health is too bad, now that you are about to enter June, are you still afraid of the cold? I remember when you first came to the swampy forest with me, you still asked to sleep alone?
Looking at Ling Yue's slightly angry expression, Huang Cang didn't dare to make fun of him anymore, and hurriedly said, "In this way, let's put the two beds together, so that there is a place and it won't be cold, how about it?"
Ling Yue nodded lightly, "That's it." However, you just made fun of me and punished you for sharing the bed. β
Sharing a bed is naturally nothing to Huang Cang, and it can be done in a few clicks.
It's still afternoon, Ling Yue was carried by Huang Cang, there was no trace of sleepiness at all, and he turned his head to Huang Cang and said, "Big brother, let's go out for a walk, how about visiting this Mime City?"
Huang Cang smiled slightly, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and nodded: "Okay! Don't we just say it when we are in the swamp forest, I will listen to you all the way." I'll go wherever you say. Even if it's to help you fulfill your wish for Yueyue. Whenever Ling Yue was mentioned, Huang Cang's heart was agitated.
Ling Yue suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, thank you." I, I ......"
"Well, no need to say thanks. Aren't we friends? β
Ling Yue really wanted to tell Huang Cang her true identity immediately, but every time she thought of the Bing'er in Huang Cang's arms, her heart tingled.
She had tried many times, but Huang Cang was evading every time, and she never told him about Bing'er.
The more Huang Cang didn't say anything, the harder the thorn in her heart became, gritting her teeth, Ling Yue decided to continue to hide it until she figured out about Bing'er before considering telling Huang Cang her identity.
The two of them walked out of the hotel and wandered the street, Ling Yue suddenly saw a clothing shop not far in front of her, and said to Huang Cang: "Big brother, let's go over and make you a few sets of clothes to wear." Save those philistine guys from always having that face on you. β
Huang Cang sighed and said, "No need, I don't have much money on me." What's more, I'm a commoner myself, so it's up to them what people think of me. β
Ling Yue said persistently: "Then how can it be done, if you ignore them, I can't look past it." When I was in the restaurant today, I almost fell out with the waiter, and tomorrow we will have an income of thousands of gold coins, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Don't you listen to me for anything? Don't resist. Follow me. β
After speaking, Huang Cang was not allowed to object, and forcibly pulled him to the garment shop.
